Happy Friday friends. The weather is warming up (we are hitting double digits for the second day in a row – yay!) so it’s time to start thinking about spending more time outside and hopefully having a picnic very soon. 

This colourful crunchy cabbage and apple slaw would be the perfect salad. The colours and textures make me very happy. I love how the humble cabbage can get all dressed up with a few other brightly coloured veggies, crunchy apples and toasted pumpkin seeds to make this gorgeous salad. It’s tossed with a subtly sweet and tangy tahini dressing and finished with toasted pumpkin seeds. It’s a great compliment to any meal.
